This study found cell-specific variations in POMC mRNA and peptide expression in murine skin, suggesting that PC1 and PC2 convertases contribute to differential POMC processing.

This study identified genetic variations associated with black and white wool color in Gangba sheep, enhancing understanding of wool color genetics and aiding selective breeding for specific wool colors in Tibetan sheep.

This study identified genetic variations that could serve as candidate markers for improving body conformation traits in Kazakh fat-tailed coarse-wool sheep through marker-assisted selection.

This study reports the draft genome sequence of the endangered Indus River dolphin and suggests potential genetic adaptations to freshwater environments, including specialized skin features and immune adaptations, while also highlighting historical and human-induced factors contributing to its low genetic diversity.

THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.

This study found that certain genetic variations in the OPN gene may be linked to atopic dermatitis and a higher prevalence of asthma in Caucasians.

This study researched the dun coat color in Mongolian horses, finding that variations in TBX3 expression in different skin areas are linked to Bider markings, suggesting TBX3's role in this specific pigment pattern, while further investigation is needed on its regulation.

In this study, researchers identified five unique sequences of the ovine KAP13-3 gene, with potential implications for wool traits due to observed amino acid changes.

This study found that rice genotypes exhibit significant variation in root hair properties under low phosphorus conditions, with genotype DJ123 showing particularly efficient root hair growth and phosphorus uptake.

This study found that in Chinese goat breeds, specific genetic variations, particularly in Tibetan Cashmere goats, are associated with traits like hair growth and adaptation to high-altitude environments.

This study revealed that different coat patterns in cats and cheetahs are related to variations in the aminopeptidase Q gene and endothelin-3 expression, which affects pigment production.

This study found that sheep possess a polymorphic KAP8-2 gene that shares high sequence identity with the KAP8-2 gene in goats and reindeer.

This study used bioinformatics to explore molecular differences in testicular and ovarian responses to SARS-CoV-2, identifying genes that could be associated with sex differences in infection outcomes.

This study found that a lower number of GGC sequences in the androgen receptor gene was associated with better clinical response to finasteride in male androgenetic alopecia patients.

In this study, researchers found that specific genetic variations at loci rs1160312, rs6113491, and rs1041668 are independent risk factors for androgenetic alopecia in men, and these risks can be influenced by diet.

This review explains the genetic diversity of sheep wool keratin-associated protein genes and explores how this variation might be leveraged for selective breeding to enhance wool fiber traits.

This study used proteomic profiling to reveal significant individual and site-specific differences in human hair shaft proteins, which may improve the differentiation of hair based on ethnic origin and individual identity.

This study used transcriptome analysis to explore the genetic mechanisms behind the development and seasonal variation of nuptial pads in R. chensinensis, identifying key genes and processes that suggest the pads' development involves complex regulatory pathways, particularly those related to cell cycle and hormone synthesis.

This article reviews the role of Pityrosporum (Malassezia) in skin conditions such as pityriasis versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis, and discusses treatment approaches; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that differences in cashmere fiber diameter in Tibetan cashmere goats are associated with variations in metabolic, hypoxic, and stress response-related proteins, offering insights for breeding strategies.
